BLOGS OF THE DAY: Willis in gun control controversy

Bruce Willis gets tongues wagging. While many celebrities support gun control in the wake of tragic mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut last year, the 57-year-old action movie veteran is against the new gun control laws proposed by President Obama.

"I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone," he said.

"If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?"

The Die Hard actor blames the massacre on mental health and said he didn't think the new laws could prevent it.

"I don't know how you legislate insanity. I don't know what you do about it," he said.

"I don't even know how you begin to stop that."

He also dismisses suggestions that Hollywood movies were to blame for what happened.

"No one commits a crime because they saw a film. There's nothing to support that," he insists. - aceshowbiz.com

Printing human cells

Lots of people use 3D printers to sculpt plastic. But some are using them to shape cells. A team of researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, led by Will Shu, has built a printer that can lay down human stem cells in tiny spheres.

Printing human cells has been done before, with bone marrow or skin. Those types of cells, however, are resilient compared to the more delicate embryonic stem cells.

"The technique will allow us to create more accurate human tissue models which are essential to in vitro drug development and toxicity-testing," Shu said. - mashable.com

Extra security

Concerned Prince William has thrown a "ring of steel" around his wife Kate Middleton amid fears Taliban militants could target them and their unborn baby as revenge for comments that Prince Harry made about his tour of duty in Afghanistan, sources have revealed.

Extra security measures are now being put in place at their Kensington Palace apartment. Plans for the lavish central London home include a $5 million bill for a bombproof double door. Windows will have bullet-proof glass, and there will be a "panic" room and escape tunnel. - celebuzz.com
